Water Spray on TFT

NickM · 12 Mar 2007 at 00:42

I just accidentally sprayed a bit of liquid on my brand new LCD when I opened my drink, now its sort of smeared

I know it sounds stupid but is there a particular cleaner that well work well to remove it?
Cheers

best way to clean an lcd monitor is with a lint free cloth,like the type used for camera or spectacle lenses

seems to have helped a bit, still a few multicoloured pixels and a bit of a streak tho

Only water? People clean their TFTs with water.

Give it a good even rub with a lint free cloth and it'll be fine.

Remember, keep the pressure on the area you're rubbing even!

Eep, nice & sticky then.

I'm not sure what's best to clean a screen with, but a friend of mine cleans his with a bit of water on a lint free cloth.

I use stuff called 'Klear screen'. It sprays on and wipes off, polish and its good as new.

I'm sure it would get rid of your Fanta for you.

Wet the whole screen with water (with a tiny bit of washing up liquid), and wipe off with a lint free cloth...

z0mbi3 · 16 Mar 2007 at 23:08

Just read the sticky.

No washing up liquid!

1. A wet sponge, wipe it all over with it
2. Use a fibre optical cloth to dry, you will only need to go over the screen is once, cos then the screen is very slightly damp and when it dries within a few secs it will leave your screen streak free.
3. If you want to make the scren look as good as new, just give it a good polish up wth the dry part of the fibre optical cloth. When I say polish, dont use polsh, just buff it up with the cloth

Then you have a pefectly clean screen, looking as good as the day you bought it.

These are the cloths I for my screen. The best ever for lcd monitors, they have a kind of clingy feeling on the skin, if you get me?

I use to dred cleaning my monitor before i used the fibre coths, cos you just cant get rid of all the streaks, and it took ages. Even then you always got 1 dam smear, no matter how meny times you cleaned it. :mad:
